What role does accountability have in educating the whole child?
Accountability is essential. Part of what we’re seeking is for communities, parents, and schools to stand up together and be accountable for the education of the children in their communities. If accountability is defined only in terms of reading and math test scores, our kids lose and we lose. The adults in the community also need to be accountable for ensuring that students are safe, healthy, engaged, and supported and that they have access to a broad curriculum that includes art, music, foreign languages, history, and social studies.
